Days: Set the default time interval for each oil type.

Use Vehicle Usage To Calculate Date: Checking this will calculate the Next Date based on the customer's vehicle usage, instead of using a set amount of days.

Do Not Allow Date To Exceed Preset Date: Checking this will make sure the date is never over the days interval

you have set if you are using the vehicle usage to calculate the date.

Round Odometer To Nearest 100: Checking this will round the odometer to the nearest 100 which can make for easier identification by your customer. Plus we think it looks nicer on the label.

Setup

Shop Management Type & ODBC Data Source This area will tell Message Manager how to link up and get data from your shop management software. Do not change this unless instructed by technical support.

Primary Cell Phone This value should be the main cell phone category of your shop management system. Some common values are 'Cell', 'Cellular', or 'Mobile'. Setting this will allow Message Manager to distinguish between a cell phone that can receive text

messages and a home phone number that cannot receive text messages for example.

Secondary Cell Phone Only set this if you have more than one cell phone category, otherwise leave this blank. A common scenario for using

a secondary cell phone is if you have two cell phone categories, such as 'Husband Cell' and 'Wife Cell'. Message

Manager Pro will only use this field when Primary Cell Phone cannot be identified.

**NOTE: IF THE SAME PRIMARY CELL PHONE IS USED FOR MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS, THE FIRST

CUSTOMER IDENTIFIED BY MESSAGE MANAGER WILL BE USED.**

Sections

Each section has a “Section Title” for customizing the label that is displayed when printed on the invoice. Keep in mind that recommendations are different than sub-estimates (Revisions) so wording should be chosen attentively with regards to your utilization of the Management System functionality.

of three future recommendations will be displayed If you have previous recommendations the first recommendation will state “Please refer to previous invoices for recommendations”

Unsold Revisions Unsold Revisions will display the top line from Revisions as a header of work listed in Revisions

We ONLY look at Revisions 1 through 4 The top line should be a labor line

We display the work requested Should be a short “Title” expression

Example: Four Tires & Alignment

Add your personal title to the Unsold Revisions Section

Example: Declined Work

Show Prices Optional to turn quoted pricing on or off

Revisions (Sub-estimates) are designed to contain a single job per sub-estimate (Revision). If your

implementation is to build more than one job per Revision tab, we recommend turning off prices since

only the first line is displayed with total dollars for the sub-estimate which could create the perception that a job is more expensive than it actually is.

Sold Revisions Sold Revisions is the documentation that occurs when your customer authorizes the purchase of a sub estimate that you quoted them
